About Karolina
Counsellor and BACP member with six years' experience, Karolina Orenczak helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and relationship issues. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, ADHD and life changes. Sessions are delivered in English and Karolina works from the United Kingdom.
Karolina draws on attachment work and client-centred ideas to focus on how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people notice habits and find practical steps forward. She also brings psychodynamic thinking into sessions to look at recurring themes from the past.
In practice she listens for how attachment and abandonment issues show up in everyday life. Conversations include exploring coping strategies, managing dissociation, and addressing problems linked to drug and alcohol use or eating and food-related issues. She also supports people with fertility concerns, postpartum symptoms and questions around non-monogamous relationships.
Karolina has a background in psychology and counselling and continues to study grief-related work and trauma approaches. Her experience includes working with people affected by post-traumatic stress and complex loss. She is the author of an Inner Child Workbook and Journal that offers exercises used alongside talking work.
Sessions aim to combine practical tools with reflective conversations. People can expect to look at patterns, try mindfulness exercises, and use motivational techniques to support change.

How her approach is used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and responses. Online sessions can focus on recognising attachment patterns and learning new ways to relate that reduce anxiety and conflict.Client-centred therapy emphasises a person-led conversation. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client, reflecting back concerns and helping people find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy offers simple exercises to bring attention into the present, which can reduce stress and aid emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Karolina will work with the client to decide which methods to use, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses and may blend different methods.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. It can make it easier to book short check-ins or longer conversations around work or childcare commitments. Confirm the current session formats and booking steps before you sign up, as the directory shows how to complete the questionnaire and arrange the first meeting.
